Born in Venice in 1625, St. Gregory Barbadigo, Bishop of Bergamo, was in the retinue of the Venetian Embassy to the Peace of Westphalia at Münster (1648), where he was befriended by Fabio Chigi (Pope Alexander VII, 1655-1667). In 1660 the pope made him Bishop of Bergamo, and three years later Bishop of Pavia (1664), a post he held until his death in 1697. Appointed a Cardinal April 5, 1660, he participated in five conclaves. He was canonized by John XXIII on May 26, 1960.

The Balzan Prize is awarded by a committee of twenty members, selected from among the various prestigeous learned societies of Europe. The foundation which controls the money was established by Angela Lina Balzan, the daughter of Eugenio Balzan, one time co-owner of the Corriere della Sera. Four awards are made each year, to persons outstanding for work in the Humanities, Natural Sciences, Culture, and Efforts for Peace and the Brotherhood of Man. The first award was given in 1961—to the Nobel Foundation. Pope John XXIII won the Peace Prize in 1962.
